ABOUT PARTICIPANTS

Participants must be a minimum of 18 years old.

Lapland Extreme Challenge is limited to 25 participants.

RACE "WAY TO GO"

You choose your way.

You choose your gear.

This is not a competition.

This is your own challenge.

NO OUTSIDE HELP

This is a human powered challenge, participants must be self sufficient. Any outside help as a support crew, outside assistance to advance
up or down the trail as snowmobiles or cars or motorbikes etc, is not allowed.

- *Doesn't make any sense that in case you receive outside help you manage to make us belive that you arrive to mandatory waypoints by yourself. In fact we don't care, you're
cheating yourself.

By the way, participants can buy food in any shop or supermarket they could find in the way
or even sleep in hotel if they wish.

In the case that a participant,
for any reasons, withdraw at any point of the Challenge, by snowmobile or car, for a day or so with the idea to return to the point where he/she left off, the organization understand this as a
quit and will stop follow his/her progress.

All finishers will have the official Lapland Extreme Challenge t-shirt and the typical Lappish hand made knife.

PRE-CHALLENGE MEETING

Meeting is mandatory for all participants. Failure to attend means the participant won't be controled by the organization.

During the meeting the participants must show the mandatory gear to the organization.

MANDATORY GEAR

1- SATELLITE TRACKING DEVICE.

2- ENOUGH BATTERIES FOR SATELLITE TRACKING DEVICE.

3- MOBILE PHONE.

5- WHISTLE.

Participants must bring all mandatory gear for check-in to the meeting.

Any participant who does not have the appropriate mandatory gear will not be controlled by the organization.

Participant will be disqualified if his/her satellite device and phone is broken or without battery
for 1 day (in that case, if organization doesn't receive any signals at all will start the rescue/evacuation protocol depending situation).

TEST OF SATELLITE TRACKING DEVICE BEFORE CHALLENGE START

One week before the Challenge
start all participants must do a test with their satellite tracking device. The organization will tell you the exactly dates.

PROTOCOL SATELLITE TRACKING DEVICE. WHAT YOU MUST DO!

- The device must have the casting mode activated.

- Send message when you do a long stop for rest, eat or sleep.

- Send message when you start after rest, eat or sleep.

- If satellite device tracker doesn't work because no more batteries or any other reason,

A disqualified or scratched participant may require an evacuation, but if a participant is able and willing to return to the start under his or her own power, or with the assistance of an
external source, he or she may do so.

All participants must inform to the organisation if they intend to scratch and return to the race start point.

Evacuation:

In case a participant ask for evacuation, the organization will give to the participant the appropriate service depending the situation (by snowmobile or taxi).

For this reason is very strongly recommended to carry the sum of 400 € cash minimum, in order to cover the unexpected.

Rescue:

Rescue will be only in case of accident. In case of rescue the organization will give to the participant the appropriate service depending the situation. For rescue we also have the help of
Firefighters and Police. The expenses incurred in this service have to be pay by the rescued person and/or fix with their own insurance.

Rescue alarm will be activated if:

- If the signal is at the same point and organization has not received any message

from the participant by phone or satellite tracking device.

- No signal by satellite tracking device and your phone have no signal.

- If you push the SOS button on your satellite tracking device.

- If you send SOS message.

- If you call us asking for help.

Disqualified participant:

A disqualified or scratched participant doesn't have to quit if he/she doesn't want but his/her name won't be in the "Finisher's list". The organization will inform the disqualified
participant by phone message.
